Got to Clovis with two cases of lovely red wine from Paso Robles & did a little warmup around 4 p.m. in some wind. The pool is pretty warm and salty to the taste.
I'm feeling great! Plus I have my new B70.
I think it is interesting that the perception of Fresno, even to semi-locals is that it is a small city.
As of 2007, Fresno was the 35th largest city in the country

Even though the cities have practically grown together, I still see Clovis as a separate area from Fresno. The disparity between Fresno and Clovis school districts is especially clear in quality of athletic facilities.
I think the area maintains a "small city" feel because it still retains a very "agricultural based" economy and focus. People still equate "farming" with a rural or "small town" lifestyle.
